Handling with Navbar and Footer's in different layouts in app router.

Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, one approach you could consider is using the getLayout pattern. This pattern allows you to define layouts on a per-page basis, which could be useful for your use case where different sections of your application require different layouts.

Here's how it works:

1. You add a getLayout property to your page, which is a function that returns a React component for the layout.

import Layout from '../components/layout'
import NestedLayout from '../components/nested-layout'
 
export default function Page() {
  return (
    /** Your content */
  )
}
 
Page.getLayout = function getLayout(page) {
  return (
    <Layout>
      <NestedLayout>{page}</NestedLayout>
    </Layout>
  )
}

2. In your _app.js file, you use the layout defined at the page level, if available.

export default function MyApp({ Component, pageProps }) {
  // Use the layout defined at the page level, if available
  const getLayout = Component.getLayout ?? ((page) => page)
 
  return getLayout(<Component {...pageProps} />)
}

This pattern allows you to maintain the React component tree between page transitions, which enables state persistence for a Single-Page Application (SPA) experience. This could be beneficial if you want to persist page state (like input values, scroll position, etc.) when navigating between pages.

For your specific use case, you could define different layouts for your events section and your community section. Each layout could include its own Navbar and Footer. Then, for each page in a section, you could use the getLayout property to specify which layout to use.
